NDC has 114 seats in Parliament - Mills

Prestea (W/R), Dec. 25, GNA - The National Democratic Congress (NDC) already has 114 seats in Parliament out of 228 certified results issued by the Electoral Commission (EC) with the New Patriotic Party (NPP) losing its parliamentary majority with 107 seats.

The NDC increased its parliamentary seats by 20 from 94 to 114 seats while NPP lost 21 seats, moving down to 107 seats from 128 seats, showing that Ghanaians were fed up with NPP and wanted a change, Professor John Evans Atta Mills, Presidential Candidate of NDC, told a rally at Tarkwa on Wednesday.

He said the 'elephant' was already out of government and was heading towards the bush and all that Ghanaians needed to do was to turn out in their numbers on Sunday to vote for him to form a new Government that would offer opportunities to all Ghanaians and not only to a section of the population.

Prof Mills urged the government to investigate the alleged "hit list" saga and come out with the truth, saying that human life was too precious to be sacrificed on the altar of politics.

He promised to resolve the problem of small-scale miners, popularly called Galamsey Operators, and said he would expand the School Feeding Programme to cover all schoolchildren in the country, adding that he would make the National Health Insurance Scheme more affordable.

Prof. Mills, who is on a campaign tour of the Western Region, made whistle-stops at Wassa Dawurapong, Himan and Bawdie before proceeding to Asankragua.
